We've all been there: Lego pieces are missing after a battle with gravity or an unsanctioned disassembly. Where are the build instructions? What's the Lego part number for that wheel hub? Can I get that part online?

One resource you can use to answer these questions is The Peeron Lego Database. Developed and maintained by Dan Boger and Jennifer Finch, the database can be searched and browsed by theme and set.

The site has an impressive number of sets inventoried: to date 6,634 are available, as well as scanned instructions for 3,452 sets. The parts are cross referenced so you know what other kits contained a White brick with Santa's face. If the part is available from one of their associates the store will be listed on the part's page.

Inventories and instruction scans are are provided by fans. So if you see they're missing something check out the FAQ for information on contributing to this great resource.
